#41 - The Albums of 1977

1977 was a landmark year for a lot of reasons: Disco is in full swing, culminating in the release of Saturday Night Fever and the opening of Studio 54, but along with that we have punk rock making a huge global push, the release of one of the biggest selling albums in music history, one artist having to follow up the surprise hit of the previous year, and most significantly the death of a 50s icon weeks before a New Wave artist of the same name makes his debut. We discuss the enormous and lasting impact of 1977 and talk about artists like The Sex Pistols, The Ramones, The Clash, Linda Ronstadt, Billy Joel, Peter Gabriel, David Bowie, Peter Frampton, Iggy Pop, Donna Summer, KISS, Styx, Rush, plus many more -- and of course there's no way you can talk about 1977 without mentioning Rumours by Fleetwood Mac.
